I have a lot, but don't get your hopes up, most of it is tied up in this restaurant right now.

Hopefully I can sell it for a sweet profit and do what I really want to do with my life.

I'm still for having ToB development housed in your restaurant, instead of hosing it for ToB. All-you-can-eat, a roof above and a bunch of fine lads around; Waitress: yes Sir, anything else?--Cass: Nah, I'm fine, I'll pay in updates, and here I'll tip you off by talking about my game at candle light dinner; Waitress: Oooh, thank you very much, Sir!

Nein, nein, nein! Do not be so little! When I say answer it, I mean respond to it, to Them.

If I sold the place then yes, the money would be mine, but right now its basically a 60,000 dollar piece of paper (ABC license), a bunch of permits (also paper), wood, granite, kitchen equipment, etc.

Many times I wake up and wish I could just wave a wand and turn these material objects into actual money in the bank ;/

Basically what I'm trying to say is this, if you have the cash, retire, and don't open a business. It's just so fucking risky. However, a small indy game studio running a single game with an optimal micro transaction formula would make me pretty happy.
